    Thirumurugan.M presents on the topic of planers. A planer is a metalworking machine tool similar to a shaper but larger, where the workpiece moves under the stationary cutting head. Planers are used to generate flat surfaces and cut slots. Common planer operations include planning horizontal, vertical, and angled surfaces as well as curved surfaces, slots, and grooves. Safety precautions when using a planer include properly leveling tables, carefully attaching clamps when using a crane, and not setting high cutting speeds or feeds.

    What is a planer ?
    A planer is a type of metal working machine tool that is some what similar to a shaper, but larger, and with the entire work piece moving beneath the cutter, instead of the cutter moving above a stationary work piece. The work table is moved back and forth on the bed beneath the cutting head either by mechanical means, such as a rack and pinion gear, or by a hydraulic cylinder. Planers and shapers were used generally for two types of work: Generating accurate flat surfaces cutting slots.

    PARTS OF THE PLANER

    PLANER OPERATIONS
    INTRODUCTION Operations performed in a planer are similar to that of a shaper. The only difference is that a planer is specially designed for planning large work, whereas a shaper can machine only small work. The common types of work machined in a planer are: the bases and tables of all kinds of machine tools, large structures, frames of different engines and identical pieces of work which may be small in size but large in number.

    The common operations performed in a planer are:


    Planning flat horizontal surfaces. Planning vertical surfaces. Planning at an angle and machining dovetails.

    Planning curved surfaces.


    Planning slots and grooves.

    SPECIFICATION OF PLANER
    CUTTING TOOLS CUTTING SPEED FEED MACHINING TIME SHAPER VERSUS PLANER

    CUTTING TOOLS
    o The cutting tools used on planers are all single point cutting tools. o They are in general similar in shape sand tool angles to those used on a lathe and shaping machine. o As a planer tool has to take up heavy cut and coarse feed during a long cutting stroke, the tools are made heavier and larger in cross section. o Planner tools may be solid, forged type or bit type. o Bits are made of high speed steel, satellite or cemented carbide and they may be brazed, welded or clamped on a mild steel shank. o Cemented carbide tipped tools are used for production work. o A planer tool may also be classified as right hand or left hand and roughing or finishing .

    CUTTING SPEED
    The cutting speed of a planner is the rate at the metal is removed during the forward cutting stroke.

    FEED
    The feed in planning machine is the distance the tool head travels at the beginning of each cutting stroke expressed in mm per double stroke It is the thickness of metal removed in one cut and is measured by the perpendicular distance between the machined and no machined surface expressed in mm

    MACHINING TIME
    The cutting speed, feed, length of cutting stroke, breadth of the job and number of double strokes per minute for a planer operation are known , the machining time required for one complete cut may be calculated .

    SHAPER VERSUS PLANER


    Shaper and planer are both reciprocating machine tools and both of them are primarily intended to produce flat surface, but they differ very much in construction, operation and use.

    SAFTEY ON THE PLANER


    Protect the machine from burrs and irregularities of the work pieces. Leveling of machine tables should of the maintained properly. Use of crane in fixing the work piece should be done carefully. The operator must attach a clamps and a sling before the part is picked up by the crane. For the surfacing work the tool head is set vertically. Appropriate tests should be carried out for the same. The depth of the cu and the feed rate are always dependent on materials of tool and work piece. It should not be set at a high value just because the planner is a powerful machine tool. Safety clutch must be provide for feed and power rapid traverse , to prevent breakage in the event the table should run against an obstruction. Use of vertical power rapid traverse for feeding the table should never be allowed
